What the fuck is this fashion?!!!

[Soubriquet]

What grown adult would wear this?

Why would you even model it?!

I have a friend who bought this! And then realised there's a reason why all the models are sitting down in the photos –it's so shapeless when standing.

Tiered smock dresses seem to be really in at the moment and I love them. So easy to wear, make you feel nicely dressed without being OTT. I always wear a belt with them though.

That H&M photo is awful! Have they inflated the sleeves with a hairdryer prior to taking the photograph? The model looks rough too - scrawny, no make up, bad hair.

The pink one is grim.....reminds me of Diana's wedding dress

@PrivateD00r

The model looks like she is a child dressing up in her mother's old bridesmaid dress. The pictures are awful.

Now I know what it reminds me of - dollies! remember how dolls clothes were always stiff and billowy?

Anne of Green Gables would have love it, being partial to a puffed sleeve!

Being over 50, that look is not for me.

I like it!

Not everyone is into (deathly dull) 'Parisian Chic' or 'Preppy' fashion.

@BambooWhoosh

I hate those type of sleeves. I'd never be able to get my cardi on.

Sorry but that made me giggle 😂

Anyone thinking of that bit in Anne of Green Gables where Anne is desperate to have a dress with puffed sleeves?

I like it but sadly I think it works on waifs as the puffiness contrasts with the wearer's non-billowy arms.

Well the 80s have been back for a while

Reminds me of lady Di wedding dress!

I love it!

It wouldn't suit me sadly.

I personally wouldn't wear it as I'm a size 18 and broad shouldered, but my skinny minx of a teen DD would rock that with big chunky boots and look cool as fuck.

Miss Ellie in Dallas used to wear a lot of this stuff - maybe Dallas ranch style is in vogue!

If I wore that I'd look like a mattress with full valance

This has got me googling Princess Di's wedding dress. It was preposterous wasn't it? Those sleeves!

I’ve bought it! 😂 That shade of pink looks awesome on me. This thread is making me laugh because the dress is very marmite but I love it, i am styling it with a little black biker jacket, a cocktail and a wide smile!

If only they had wires in I might be tempted to buy one. It looks like the perfect social distancing outfit.

I should say I have the longer length one.

It looks very cool and comfortable, but I can't really see it catching on. I've only seen one person wear this style in real life.
I would never wear it myself because one of my pet hates in fashion is big puffy sleeves. But other people might love them which is fine.

Hmmm maybe it’s the model wearing it that makes it look worse than it is

I just wanted to give that model a square meal and a shampoo!

[quote Fanthorpe]@YetAnotherSpartacus I’m the same, I have a big billowy/flappy knee length black H&M dress that I wear in the house. I love it but wouldn’t have the nerve to go out the door in it.

I see now that super-puff is cotton, that’s a very good price![/quote]
I have a similar "hot weather" dress, bought from monsoon, can't remember when but well before the millennium! Probably very early 90s , I bought two dresses at the same time and I remember wearing one of them ,not the black one, to a job interview.

It has a tiny little hole (moth?), and is faded as black material often does but is perfect for the hottest days. I have worn it out in recent years but only on the sort of day when anything goes...... It's long , ankle length, and doesn't touch any where from my shoulders down!

Is that H&M? I know, it's hideous.

I'm pretty sure I still have a bridesmaid dress like that from the 90s

You could keep spare masks and a little hand sanitiser or two in the sleeves........
